Civilization on Earth came from aliens

[LjasonL]

I'm about to post something that's going to go against everything you've ever been taught. If you're open minded, it's really going to make you think, if not you're just going to get a laugh out of it. You've been warned.

There is a tribe in Africa called the Dogon. They have a belief system based on something very interesting. To them, the most important star in the sky is "Digitaria", their name for what we call "Sirius B". What's interesting about this? Sirius B is invisible without a fairly powerful telescope. I would have no chance at all to see it with the scope I use. The Dogon have known about this star for a very long time, their tradition dates back at least 5000 years in Egyptian culture, and traces of this story can be found in the mythologies of almost all the ancient cultures.



As if that's not weird enough, they know even more about Digitaria. For one, their myths describe it as a "strong, heavy, small star". Well turns out it's a type of star called a white dwarf, which is much smaller than a "normal" star like our sun, but with more mass which makes it much denser (stronger and heavier). On top of that, they described it's orbit as being about 50 years around Sirius A, they even get specific enough to say it's between 49 and 50 years. Turns out the orbit is exactly 49.4 years. On top of that, they have drawings of what they describe as the orbit of Digitaria, and instead of placing Sirius A at the center of the orbit like you'd expect from a primitive culture (and even most people today would draw it) they showed the orbit as an ellipse with Sirius A at one of the focal points of the ellipse. Compare their drawing of the orbit with a modern astronomical chart of the orbit, and see how close they match!:



It gets even better. They describe a third star in the system, which we now call "Sirius C". Only as recently as 1995 was modern science able to confirm that this star is where they said it would be. This star is so dim that we're still unable to see it with the most powerful telescopes, the only way we even know it's there is the gravitational effect it has on Sirius A and B. The Dogon myth describes this as a weaker female star, and we now know it's a brown dwarf, which is indeed weak in terms of stars.

So how the hell do they know all this about something they can't possibly have seen? Well, it took researchers many years to gain the trust of the tribe's elders so they would tell the researchers this, their biggest secret. They say that, a long time ago, "visitors" came from Digitaria in a spaceship, landed, and told the people of Earth these things. They then "gave knowledge" to the people of the Earth. This giving of knowledge is these "visitors" helping to start the earliest civilizations, like Egypt, Sumeria, the very places these legends come from. And indeed, it's pretty mysterious how these early civilizations seemed to spring up from nowhere, instead of building up slowly like you'd expect. And these civilizations all have a knowledge of astronomy which seems way too advanced for them. Even the great pyramids in Egypt are aligned perfectly to the 3 stars in Orions Belt, which are related to Sirius.

The Dogon describe these visitors as amphibious fish like people called the "Nommo". On the left is an actual Dogon drawing of a Nommo, and on the right is an artists concept of what they might have looked like:



So, was Earth really visited by advanced amphibious beings in the far past, who helped jump start our civilization? There is no proof that it's NOT true, and the evidence is pretty convincing. What do you think?

Just curious what people think about that

What is "Ciiclization"

?

[LjasonL]

the result of a v key that doesn't work unless you press really hard, and apparantly when you press hard you roll off onto the c key instead.

[eversio11]

It's certainly a possibility.

Nah, I think its a result of you sucking.

[honda_racing101]

More than likely lol.

[Gotti]

sounds like a hoax to me

[Toksin]

Are you colourblind?

We can't read the grey text with that background. Get rid of that shit.

[dirtydx]

get a background, i cant read a thing.

[Broke_as_****]

I don't have a whole lot of time. Um, OK, I'm a former employee of Area 51. I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago, and I've kind of been running across the country. Damn, I don't know where to start. They're gonna triangulate on this position really really soon.

O_P?

There's no doubt in my mind now that I need to find new people to hang out with. I like you guys but it's disgusting how much of your lives you waste away just sitting around. It's fucking depressing just being around you.

+1


Anyway, hit crtl+A to select everything, then you can actually read it.

[LjasonL]

Like 80% of the background is black, c'mon guys, just look for something to bitch about why don't you?

edit: and I seem to be able to read it fine against everything except the 1x1 inch square of yellow. Maybe I'm not the colorblind one...

[Gohan Ryu]

70% of the text is washed out by that red skull thing in the background, even with my monitors resolution turned way up. It's too annoying to try to read.

[LjasonL]

I must have superman eyes then

edit: and it's also a long held internet secret passed down through generations that if you just highlight something it takes the background out of the equation, although I don't see why that's necessary. Even if you can't read grey against red which I find to have plenty of contrast, it's a simple matter to scroll the text into the black area.

Same here..


Whiners.

[Toksin]

Listen here champ, when I go read people's bullshit on xanga I want to do as little as possible to read it (I've already exhausted more energy than necessary just loading your shit). You can't expect addons now like highlighting everything. I'm fully aware that that's how it is. Point is, when you have light text, you have a dark background, you don't make a background that washes out half your text. It's fine if you can read it, but what about your readers? IT'S ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. When I'm reading about interstellar fish people I want it all quick and easy dammit!




























Just yanking your chain dude, I coped. It is kinda hard on the eyes though.. Loving the expanding spiral...thing on the left side
